A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with chunky, ink-heavy strokes and soft, irregular edges that suggest worn metal type or uneven inking. Serifs are slabby and blunted, with rounded corners and occasional nicks that create a subtly distressed texture. Proportions are compact and steady, with consistent cell-based rhythm; counters are moderately open but darkened by the heavy ink spread and rough contours. Numerals match the same rugged, stamped feel, with simplified shapes and a slightly handmade wobble within a controlled, upright structure.
Well suited for period-style documents, labels, and props where a believable typewritten impression is desired. It can also work for bold editorial headlines, posters, and cover typography that benefits from a gritty, tactile texture and a steady monospaced cadence.
The overall tone feels archival and mechanical—evoking paperwork, carbon copies, and old correspondence—while the distressed details add grit and a hint of noir storytelling. It reads as practical and direct, with an intentionally imperfect, analog character.
The design appears intended to capture the mechanical regularity of typewritten lettering while introducing wear and ink spread for authenticity and atmosphere. It prioritizes character and texture over crisp neutrality, aiming for an expressive, printed-on-paper feel.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive “struck” impression rather than isolated grunge effects. At larger sizes the rough edges become a defining feature; at smaller sizes the dense ink and blunt serifs can build strong, dark typographic color.
